[streaming] Unable to launch scheduled streaming with VLM

[Javier Gálvez Guerrero]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to offer a scheduled video streaming service with VLC and its
VLM telnet interface. The commands I write are these:

new fear broadcast enabled
setup fear input /home/dulceangustia/diptv/test/fear.mpeg
setup fear output #standard{mux=ts,access=udp,dst=239.255.1.2)
new fear_tv schedule enabled
setup fear_tv date 2007/12/23-23:55:00
setup fear_tv append control fear play

which follow the given specifications.

If I enter them on my desktop computer it runs without any problems, but
when I try it at my laptop computer the following error appears at the
specific scheduled time on the window where I launched the VLC telnet
interface with the command:

> vlc --ttl 12 -vvv --color -I telnet --telnet-password videolan --rtsp-host
localhost:5554

The error messages appearing are these:

As said before, I can launch the service with no problem on my desktop but
in my laptop there's no success. The desktop is connected through Ethernet
but I thought it has nothing to do with it. Anyway I tried in my laptop with
Ethernet and WiFi connections and neither of them were successful.

VOD and broadcast streaming work without any problems on my laptop and that
is why I can't understand why scheduled streaming does not.

Could anybody tell me if there is any bug or what I could do regarding my
problem?

Thanks a lot,
Javi
